For discipline, a "card system" can be used. Cards are color-coded by rules and procedures that students must follow to meet the expectations of good behaivor. Below the color-coded descriptive cards is a pocket chart with a label for each child (they each have their own slot). If a childs card must be pulled, it is their responsibility to look and see which expectation they have not followed or met and then move the corresponding color card into their pocket. The "card system" is located on the back of the door, as it is only the business of the student who is being disciplined. (Idea taken from Mrs. Woody's 1st grade classroom).
Color-Coded Cards & Expectations:
Yellow card- Listens and follows directions.
Orange card- Completes tasks in alloted time.
Brown card- Returns home work assignments.
Blue card- Demonstrates organizational skills.
Purple card- Respects the property and rights of others.
Red card- Displays self control.
Students will have to write their cards pulled in their agenda and have their parents sign it. At the end of the month, if so many are pulled, they will miss Fun Friday.
Rules should...
Be short and to the point.
Be positively written.
Let the children help you create rules. Then, narrow them down to four. Next, allow the children decide the consequences. Lastly, go over procedures everyday for the first two weeks.
